What is Language?

Here are some of the anwers your classmates have given for the question "What is Language". Based on these, could you make an attempt to make up a more wholistic answer. Before answering you might want to consider the discussions we've had during the class on Monday.

"Communicative device, and open- ended" (Emine)"Expression of thoughts and feelings" (Saadet & Elif)"Alive" (Mustafa & Elçin)"Significant part of culture" (Yasin)"Meaningful chain of sounds" (Pınar)"Great power and weakness" (Samet)The ability to get the word combinations together (Seda"Language is interaction, a certain system of signs" (Sine)"Verbal: the way to express our thoughts" (Narin)"is culture" (Demet)"istediğimiz şekilde kullanabileceğimiz bir paradır" (Derya)"Mirror of our mind" (Şenol)"Something about practical thinking" (Kübra)"Construction based on words" (Fikret)"Dil bir oyun hamurudur" (Yağmur)"That chains people together" (Hatice)"Tool to earn money" (Gamze)

WHAT IS LANGUAGE?„What is language? “is a question which I would like to answer from two aspects. On the one hand the concrete aspect on the other hand the abstract aspect.Concerning the concrete side, language is a system of symbols. These symbols are perceptible, visible, audible and scan able signals. Consequently you can perceive or transmit language optically and acoustically.The unchanging symbols contain the information.The recipient perceives these signals, connects it with conventional meanings and understands what the sender means. He, who does not know the convention, can not decipher and understand.The abstract aspect of language is broader:Language is a mean based on mental and spiritual processes and social conditions to express and exchange thoughts, imaginations, cognitions, feelings and informations. It is also a symbolic interaction and a kind of behavior. It is our language which makes us to human beings, because it is a system of social norms, allowing us to live together in a community.I would define language as a device to communicate. And as you know, you have to know how your device is working. It is important to use your device effectively. A saying says: “If you do not know the power of words, you can not imagine how powerful persons might be. Thus the usage of our language is very significant. If you know playing with language or words you are able to master almost everything, but if you do not know how to handle with, you can not even gain self knowledge not to mention success.Briefly concerning the abstract aspect I would define language as a matter of opinion, it is one’s ideology or world outlook for Ludwig Wittgenstein says: “The borders of my language are the borders of my life”.

WHAT İS LANGUAGE? Language is a sound system with which we express our thouts,ideas,emotions and also we can understand what the others say.ıt help us think.By means of language we interact with other people. Besides,language is everything of a nation.Culture,politics,tradition of a nation are shaped thanks to the language.What the role of water is in humanbeing the language is the same for a nationIt is surely and mostlythe major earning of human being.All science,literature,tecnology develope by means of language.Language and humanbeing go together.The longer a nation lives the longer a nation lives.

As i said before,language is an ability to get new word combinations together.This ability begins with imitation at the childhood stage.With the first voice;syllable they create sentence structures.With this ability ppl-able to satisfy routine social demands-able to communicate-able to have an accent that gives a style-able to satisfy individual needs-able to express feelings by speaking or writing-able to read and write

Also acquiring a second language requires a background consisting of a language ability among adolecents and adults.Some ppl can be good at learning verbal things.on the other hand,others can be good at numerical things.it changes from situations to situations

There are different ways of communication with or without languageActually, language is a mean that helps us to communicate with others (people, objects, animals,...etc.) During the communication, we are expressing our thoughts, feelings, ideas, problems…etc. about a subject through the most appropriate words which are combined into sentences. These sentences are generated and perceived in a grammatical and syntactical order. Additionally, the meanings of these words fit to the situations. But, how do we do it? I mean choosing the suitable words to the situations, construing correct sentences and communicating with a partner according to the subject sometimes discussing…The point is that how can we understand what our communication partner is saying and in direct contradiction how can he/she get what we are saying. I think the key point is the meanings of the words. The meanings which are somehow assigned to the words …The meanings of the used words convey the message to our communication-partner. So he/she reacts to our consigned message. But out of above mentioned art of the communication there are different ways of communication without a biologically inherited language. For instance the deaf-dump people use body language. Or the blind people read not with their eyes instead with their fingertips. And what about the communication between mother and baby? So it can be understood that there are different ways to be able to communicate with the other people and the objects.

Language is a communication system and there are some language types.Oral Language is one of the ways that peopleexpress themselves,but generally this way the simpliest way because,in fact, people's real messages are hiden in their body language.If you look people's behaviours you can see the real message that is metamessage.In my opinion,these metamessages are more important in order to understand people.It is not enough just listen,look and see...So,language is a slave that people use it however they want whether for goodness or badness...

Language,whether it is body language or turkish or english,is an indispensable way of expressing our ideas and feelings. Also,we can teach our culture to new generations and other nations thanks to it and this converts it into something which lives with us. SEMA UZUNMEHMET 3231040001

We can not describe language only in one way.It becomes many meanings.It changes from person to person.Also it is not alone, it bounded with many things.I see the language as a need for all of the alive,culture, life,money,communication,happiness.... etc.It is used for every beings not only people,because it is not pnly verbal.There are many kind of language as body language.Language means communication,interaction,culture,freedom,necessities....

Language is a tool for communication.Sounds,letters, words,gestures,smell,signs can be the parts of that tool. Language is alive, depending on the thing that uses it, it can be developed or killed, therefore there are both developing and dead languages. People use lots of different things as language;sounds, letters, signals, gestures etc. and each of these things express different meanings for different communities. Language is not a thing that can be explained totally.İt is something huge. Filiz 3231040024

I think brain is a printer and the language is the outcome of it.Allways humans think somethings and have some emotions.And when they commend their brain to express these feelings,brain automatically apply the language.Because it can not use anything instead of languge.Language is not the thing which is only written or spoken.There are some other types of language such as body language,gestures or mimics..etc.So all the things which we express ourself is the language.

Language is the base of communication betweeen humanbeings, it should be considered as a hole not by it's part because everything in a language gets its meaning from the sentences in which it is used.In that aspect we can see language as the base of a construction and all features of the language is like accessories of this construction....

Language is a tool can be used for many aims. Mainly to communicate with people; ''to express ideas&feelings'' in other words. Also language is an art on its own; it forms literature.We can tell that, since it is vital for poetry and other branches of literature.Furthermore,language always improves day by day.New words and phrases can be added in a language according to daily events or new stuff in people's life.For example 'google' word meant nothing for people for a few years ago,but now we use it and this word even is used as a verb which means to search something on google ( 'i will google it'- as i saw in a movie :) So, language never dies and improves constantly; and it wil always be the first thing which humanbeing will need in his life...Serdar Dograr__3231040042

Language is the biggest thing that seperate people from animals and other things.Because language gives people the ability of talking and expressing their ideas,needs...So we can understand that language is the thing that creates communication between people and so it is the creator of being social.So ı can say that language meets the biggest need of humankind,which is beng social.Also ıf we want to link it with culture we can say that language is the transporter of culture.It implies culture in itself,ın every sentence,every word,ın every sound and ıt transports this culture to the next generations.As understood from these,language and culture can not be departed from each other.I tried to explain language from two aspects but of course these are only tiny drops in an ocean.Demet Karabulut3231040014

Language is something like a "mirror".It's a mirror of our feelings,thougth,beliefs,cultures,characters,etc...When we try to communicate with people,people we interact with don't know what there is in our inner world.We should transfer our thoughts,feelings to another people so that we can communicate.We can show our inner world by means of a mirror called "language".Language reflects us. ELCİN BABAT 2-A 3231040013

I thing language is the most important need of a person after the metabolismic needs.One can live whitout home,car,friend and other things but not language.Languge is not a thing which invented after some other things.Language was in the world at the same time with human.It was with the human before everything.It is identified with human.The biggest difference between human and other creatures is language so it is very important and necessary for life.

İnitially, understanding other people too important and necessary as we live together.That is, we can not exist by ourselwes.Whatever, we need other people.Therefore, we should have a common point to communicate with people.And,this point is language.Language is an unique communication system.Our culture specific world views,thoughts.emotions,beliefs and concepts are reflected through language.İf there is no language,communication can not be provided and,it results in a lot of problems that vanish the regulerity.Hence,to provide this regularity and maintain our life, we use languade which enables to express ourselves. Arzu ENGİN 2-A 3231040029

I thing language is the most important need of a person after the metabolismic needs.One can live whitout home,car,friend and other things but not language.Languge is not a thing which invented after some other things.Language was in the world at the same time with human.It was with the human before everything.It is identified with human.The biggest difference between human and other creatures is language so it is very important and necessary for life.

WHAT IS LANGUAGE Making a description of language changes person to person..In fact it involves two sides.One of it is the scientific side and the other is abstract side.If we want to describe language in a scientific way,the language is a systematical institution that consists of limited vocal and visual arbitary symbols.Language is a process and there are four stages in this process.Sounds shape words,words shape sentences and sentences shape meaning.I think the last part forms the abstract side of language because the meaning is very important to share our feelings.If we want to describe language in an abstract way,the language is like a mirror that reflects emotions and thoughts inside us.Lots of things affect language such as culture.At the same time language is alive.It can develop and die.Language has also lots of responsibilities.For example; for an effective connection we should use our language fluently.YAĞMUR TOKA 3231040097

Language is expressions of our feelings and thoughts.Or,in other words,it is the concrete data of our way of life.Even for thinking,people do need language.So, this sentence is a proof of language's necessity in people's lives.No doubt language is alive.It was born with the emergence of first humanbeings,it has grown up and developed as time passed within the same frame of culture.Culture has a great and foremost role in the developmental process of language,and vice versa.That's why one cannot think language seperated from the culture and real life...

Language is a way of expressing our feelings,thoughts,etc.. With the help of language people can communicateor understand eachother.I think language isnt only words ,alphabets;there are also other ways of language such as body language,sign language.I think it s the main factor that helps thinking,people can make comments about events or think with the help of language.All in all language is a necessity of human life like water,food.

NEED FOR A KING OR LANGUAGE?Language is such a power that you can use it even for destroying a country.Also,language is such a weakness that you can cause destroying a country.There is a fact that if you want to be in an important position in life you have to possess language as if it were a myth which we don't know its existence exactly by being conscious of its unavoidable side.How we perceive the world is limited by language.Spontaneously,your language is a reflection of what you understand from the world. The end of one's personality,culture,values of the system and his COUNTRY-the most crucial one-begins with language emperıalism.And believe me the most effective one! Please don't forget,if a country succeeds to protect its language,there is no need for a KING.On the other hand,if a country fails to protect its language,there is ALREADY no need for a king! ŞULE CAN 3231040129

Language is a beautiful gift. With it we can share our wants, our needs, our thoughts, our feelings, and everything that makes us human. Language is the expression of human communication through which knowledge, belief, and behavior can be experienced, explained, and shared. This sharing is based on systematic, conventionally used signs, sounds, gestures, or marks that convey understood meanings within a group or community.

the language is the trait which distinguishes us from all other creatures on the planet .and this uniqueness gives us the chance of practical thinking and gaining this ability..thinking and language both completeseach other softly and reasonebly.but the most significant point is in that your speech should have mentality.you can gain this ability by reading or listening carefully the other people,yourself.ın our daily speeches we often speak un consciously.forthisreason ı say that practical thinking in a language is the most important thing .with this aim we can have the chance of being listened by other people..the language provides us this fact and telling meaningfull things..kübra kayhan 3231040064

I don't exactly know that what language is for me.It is a really big and broad world.Is it only some simple and chip words that talking in streets,at home,on bus,at school or on mobile phones or is there something more significant?Is it only technology that provide to reach information that i need or something else?I guess that can't be such an easy explanation,the thing that supply this is language.Everything that i write,see,hear,read,live is language.As Samet said language is a great power and weakness.This means that you can either being understood or not,you can either rise or fall,you can either being honour or being despise.Language is not only some ordinary symbolic letters beyond this it is exceeding oceans,turning to ancient times or going a thousand years forward.Sometimes you could face with a meaningless face across you when you thought that you express yourself perfectly and also you could establish a great connection when you thought you used a few simple words.So i think language is to lose or to win.

Language is a system of finite arbitrary symbols combined according to rules of grammar for the purpose of communication.ıt is classified into two groups;verbal(human and animal)and(and non-verbal(sing,body..).Individual languages use sounds, gestures and other symbols to represent objects, concepts, emotions, ideas, and thoughts. Language use is an inherently social phenomenon. How you speak depends on such factors as where you grew up, your racial and ethnic identity, whether you are a woman or man, and your education. That is, you use the variation in language as a creative means of expressing who you are (and who you are not).EMİNE BİLEN

language is the combination of the codes that can only be understood by the members of that language. these codes can be sounds,signs or symbols which send the same message to the receiver and are used for communication.To understand and communıcate in any language you have to know its code system. FARUK ÖZ 3231040026

Language is a way to communiciate.It is a living creature.As time passes new words are added and some olds are left out.These are depend on the developing technology and changing life.When you explore some thing new you should call them with a name so you should add new words to language.With the developing technology you give up using some tools old and their name also so some words disappear so the language changes.Finally we can say that language is a living creature.

first of all,we use language to communicate with other people,to express ourselves and understand others but beyond this, language is one of the phenomenons that makes a nation a nation because it preserves history, geography,culture,customs and traditions of nations and that's why people of same country find a common sense in it and by means of it come together.

All of the comprehensions about the concept of language can be evaluated as possible definitions but it must never be forgotten that language is a living organism like other creatures so it is quite fairly impossible to restrict with limited walls.in my opinion language is not an opportunity that makes thinking possible,on the contrary it conveys thoughts to outside.It represents and expounds namely illustrates the thoughts come out of our mouths.Therefore,it is like a mirror which reflects us.Aource of its presence and essence of its existence indicate the necessity of communicaiton of human being called Homo Sapiens.It is like a bridge which combines people it is like a rainbow which contains many colours.Consequently,it is the collaborative work of the mind and the heart that is the fountain through which the water of practical thinking flows.I belive that language can be interpreted as a great family composed of certain systems of signs,grammatical constructions based on rules and words.One asapect of language that strikes me its excellent capacity in adopting new conditions with outstanding dynamism.It is the most significant splendors of nature.And all in all,language is eternal derives from immortality.And it will be living as long as days and nights continue one after the other.Abdulkerim MUT3231040130

Language is the system of sounds and symbols that people use to express their ideas,feelings...etc.It is also one of the most important thing which distinguishes human beings from the other creatures in the world.So it takes on very serious job and also makes us human.This alive thing binds to the human beings so strictly that it is impossible to imagine us without it.At the same time language is the mirror of society,it reflects the lifestyle of that culture. We can see language as a tool for communication,but people don't use it only by the help of sounds or symbols.When the verbal usage of language finishes,then body language,which is the real language,enters.In communication facts are hidden in eyes movements;not in tongue.To summarize,itis also in the hands of human beings to use such magic key for kindness or wickedness,like everything.AYNUR EROL 3231040023

LANGUAGE IS A DIFFERENTIATING OBJECT BETWEEN THE CULTURES THAT ARE MOSTLY DEPEND ON THE ETHNICAL,HISTORICAL VALUES AND BELIEFS OF A SOCIETY.IN OUR DAILY LIFE WE USE IT TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE OTHERS WHO ARE INCLUDED BY THE LANGUAGE ACTIVE SPEAKERS GROUP OF OUR LANGUAGE I MEAN THE SAME PEOPLE AROUND US WHO ARE SHARING THE SAME VALUES AND ENVIRONMENT WITH US.LANGUAGE IS A NEED TO EXPRESS IT IS A NEED TO SAY IT IS SHORLTLY WHAT A MAN HAS TO HAVE FIRSTLY...

language meaning is change according to our perspective,so we can't make certain defination about it.maybe we can say that;while we try to make defination of language,we don't know,while we don't try,we know (bilmiyorum doğru mu çevirdim ama.tanımlamaya çalıştığımızda bilmediğimiz, tanımladığımız zaman bildiğimiz şeydir dil)ıt governs us only itself so;if you want to damage a society you should start from its language.

TÜLAY KAÇAR 3231040002

In the last lesson you asked what the language was. Some of our friends said their opinions about this question. One of them, Derya, said that “Language is the money which we can use however we want.”

She sees language as money. This resemblance is good, because, language is very valuable. Maybe we can say that it is more valuable than many things we accept very very valuable. She also said that “We can use it however we want.” On that opinion I don’t agree with her. Because, she says that it is money namely, I think, it is valuable. So, how a person use a valuble thing, especially language, however he/she wants? If we use something in the way we want, it can not valuable, I think.

Everyone should, maybe, must use valuable things when, where, how necessary. For example, if we spend our money haphazardly on something we don’t really need, what will we do when we really need the money? If we do so, we neglect the value of the money. So we can not say that money is valuble for me.

In the same way, everyone should use the language by performing its rules. Actually, we should be more careful when using languge than when using money or somethingelse. A Turkish proverb says that “Hand’s injury can get better but tongue’s injury can not get better.”(most probably this translation is false). Namely, if we use our languge however we want, we will have lots of injury waiting for getting better.

Language is one of the most important need of people in the world. So, everyone should know and perform all of the rules of his/her language. And we all people also should protect from the other languages’ negative effects our one of the most important values.

WORDS ARE ONLY WORDS.CAN YOU SHOW ME SOMETHING ELSE ? I can not describe language as a world that’s only made up of a ground of words and a sky of sounds. Language is something which also enables a flow of thoughts and feelings between people.Language is a sea where a musician finds himself in the middle of the waves of musical notes. He uses the language of notes as a means of expressing what he feels inside.Language is a foliage from which an artist gets the muse of his paintings. On his drawing-board he makes the language of colours speak. He uses his brushes to tell the things which he can not put into words.Language is a crying of a baby. His tears replace the words that he can not say. His screams give the meanings that no word can express.Nature has its own language. The sun rises when he wants to tell us that the day will begin. The coulds’ getting darker is the messenger of the rain. Nature has got a signal language.Last to say, the words are only one way of language this world consists of many ways of expressing thoughts and feelings.Duygu Koçak no:3231040035

Language has such an interesting and complex structure that we can hardly give a single definition of it. Its meaning and content can differ from person to person. Language has very different aspects. While we can define it as a glue that chains people together, we can also define it as a tool which enables communication, etc. I think language is that kind of tool that enables communication between people. It helps us express our thoughts, ideas and share our feelings. Meanwhile ………………… Thus language forms the indispensable part of our everyday lives. Because talking or writing in terms of using the language is a basic need of every human being. We do everything with language. We tell our needs, our problems,persuade people. Without it most of the things would be almost meaningless and hard to maintain. For instance, let’s suppose that language don’t exist. How would we be able to …………… or how would …………….? For sure our life would come to a dead end and lead us into difficult situations. Besides its meeting our basic needs,language helps us transfer our cultural value ,knowledge and treasures to the next generations. By this way a society can continue to survive.It is a really important transfer.

To sum up,language is like a tool to make all these things.However language has many other aspects. I have only mentioned one aspect of it.I am sure of it that language is really crucial in our life. hatice aslan no:3231040010

Why do people need language? Some of our friends said it is an interaction tool and people need to communicate sometimes to share opinions, feelings or sometimes their complains or even discussions. But also some friends ment that it is a certain system of signs. Than we can ask ourselves if it is so certain, if it is made of so exact rules why people constantly misunderstand eachother? Why are all these fights, blamings, disagreements, accusations, broke ups, divorces? Even people use the same code! Even two friends grew up together, a couple living together for so many years, sisters and brother from same parents, partners earn money from same investment! It must be something more hidden deep inside!Pelin K. Akcura

Language is what Hitler gave to Nazis and what Picasso drew on Guernica.. It is the way we approach to life and shape our own world. It is our mind's wındow opened to the universe.. Every word spoken carry an amount of clues about its speaker.. Hamza Doğan 3231040039

Language is essence of human.It is improving with people during history.Neither language nor person is different.They complete each other.We do not think language is separete from human nature and history. Burcu Orman 3231040021

Last week while talking about the theories of language we mentioned about the Bable tower and I said it can be a very good metophor in terms of WHOLE UNIVERSE'S SHARING LANGUAGE which you agreed and said it is already.Seeing this week's topic my thesis has become stronger for me.Altough there are many factors that forces us to be hopeless about the future of the world, I insist on being optimistic because otherwise all my hopes and efforts would be futile. This universe was created to reach the real happiness which is due to. That day we will be able to understand each other. This may not be by using the same language because it's itself consist of words and grammetical rules only. It is WE what gives meaning to the naked language. So on the day all human beings learn to use the language of their HEARTS not the language of their desires, their worldly wantings and their self-plans, we will be able to comprehend the real meanaing, real description of LANGUAGE. Connecting people.... We will contruct the Bable Tower. Zehra AK 3231040094 2/B

'what is not language?'can be a better question to understand the importance of language i think.different things make up language and create areas to make it grow ,such as words,ideas,sounds,culture,people,animals...we express ourselves by using language,that is we are nothing without language,without communication.it can be said that,our words represent our worlds in a way .3231040032 Aysun Peynirci

LANGUAGE IS...Language is the meaning of the life,because it gives us the ability to think.There is a cliche quote about this:''Thinking works with words''.I agree this idea.Without language life would be meaningless and very hard to live.So it makes it easy to live by providing communication between people.In short,we can describe the language as the greatest gift given to humanity/greatest invention humanity has ever done.Yasin 3231040051

Language is the reflection of our thoughts,feelings and world-view to the life. The language which we use gives signs about us. If a person is weakness for thinking which makes people leave looking from "horse glasses". So; language is an action of being free.Consequently; the more you think and reflect it to the language, the more you will be free.

1.Language is a communication device transfering our thoughts and feelings.

2.As a friend said,language is a mirror reflecting our culture life style religion geography and etc.

3.Language is the reflection of myself(my thoughts and feelings)

4.Language is a concrete concept.For example,if there are not the words of 'freedom'and 'democracy' in the language a person certainly will have difficulty in thinking about these concepts or can not think in any way.

i think the importance of languages are shaped by politicial powers.if you are rich in energy sources,if you have a lot of money and give other countries in need of money,and if all of the latest technology is yours ,then you have to learn that country's languge in order to compromise.In other words you are subject to that country.

Noone knows exactly how language originated but there are some theories about the origin of human language.People's need for communicating with the others to keep on their life gave way to rising of language.When i think about the future of language i can say that it will be a key for opportunities about the lives of the people ;now it's like that ,too but in a superficial way ,in the future it will be a golden key we should have like a part of our cloth ;but when it's used properly .Pınar KARAAHMETOĞLU 3231040096/2-B

It is language most obviously than anything else,that distinguishes man from all other creatures.Once upon it was common to define humans as athinking animals but more recently humans have always been described as tool-making creatures.I think that language itself is the most remarkable and universal tool they have invented because it makes most of the others possible.3231040011

Language is a key that can open or close every door. We can open even somebody's heart's door thanks to language. Or we can prove somebody to close his/her heart against us. So using this key in the right way is very important. We can say all our feelings owing to language. It can be words language, body language or another type of language. So it is very important to know how we use it. Evrim KARADAYI 3231040073 2/A HAYEF İng. Öğrt.

I think language is like water and breath.I can't think a life without language because we transfer our thoughts,ideas with language.Also,it includes our traditions,life perspectives,personality and specialities.For these reasons it is important for us.gülşah yıldız 3231040099 2/A

To me,language is the frame of our thoughts.The more the capasity of our words the larger our frame to transfer the feeelings,thoughts.To explain yourself to the other side you should know lots of words,phares,on the other hand they can't understand you as you want.Namely,to enlarge your frame you firstly enlarge your word capacity.Also,a language shows the improvement and characteristic of a nation.For example,germany is a rude language and the german are cold blooded people.I think this shows the relation between the language and country,nation.So,language has an important place in our life.gülşah ünlü 3231040079 2/A

When it is asked what the language is,most people say it a communication device.Certainly,it is a right answer but may be not enough to describe it.How does this device work? Does it work only with speaking? In our daily life we always speak to convey our thought or emotion to other people with using a language such as turkish,english.Sometimes we can understand each other's thought without speaking.People's behaviour,mimic,gesture can express lost of things.We call these things body language.For example it is a person doesn't talk about anything when you are together,you thinkthat maybe he/she is sad,thoughtful or angry.Then we can realise that language is not only speaking but also behaviorism.It can't be thought of life without language because it is one of the most important part of people. Shortly,language was born with humanity and will die when the life bring that big end for humanity.

whatever else we may do when they come together - whether they play, fight,make love etc- we talk. We live in aworld of words. We talk to our friends ,parents, wives and husbands, busdrivers, teachers and total strangers. We face to face and over the phone . And everyone responds us with more talks. As a result ,hardly a moment of our lifespan is free from words, and even in our dreams we talk talked to so it is lang most obviously than anything else that distinguishes us from other creatures.Furthermore lang is the most remarkable invention human being has invented and is the one which makes most of the others possible.

ıt is miracle thing. we gain it unconciously when we are baby and never forget. there is a saying that humans are social creatures. but what makes this? absolutely language. if we don't hawe this ability,we will be a bomb ready to blow up.the way of the making this magic determines people's even empires' fate. sometimes a punctiation or emphasise saves life. sometimes it digs your grave out.

I don't say like the others;language is he one thing that seperates the human being from the others because I think animals also have an ability of speaking,perhaps their language ability different from ours' but they can communicate with each others.Language is a tool which provides communication between person and person;animal and animal.but language of people is more systematic with words and syntax.People can say others, what they think and feel.

language :who can find a simple word or at the same time such a complex concept?who did find it?ı dont know but ı know something usefull ,miracle ,essentional for a real human being...it is something delicious among tounge .think of dreaming it canbe done only our language..first of all you can deny this,you can say it can only be created with our minds on the otherhand we know it is somehow about language.About it's images on our minds.KÜBRA

Language is a device we use in order to communicate. It could be by means of sounds, gestures, written signs, etc. I don't think it necessary to repeat its arbitrariness for the ten millionth time- or more? Anyway, it is surely useful and should also be examined. How else could we really understand each other?

what's language?it's something to be pronounced is difficult in turkish:))ı agree with my all friends comments little or more.yes it might be communication tool which people can't do anything without it.however don't it be thought that something that people can't see or touch is unimportant?no surely no.language is such an inevitable reality that even if we can't see it,we need it so much more than everything.another reality about language is that it s alive.and it will live until the last person remains single in the world!!! perihan çıkrık 3231040104(2-b)

THE FUTURE OF LANGUAGEyes we cannot know what will happen to us in the future.when we will die or will we reach the point we have planned?no surely we cannot know those but can guess or want.but we can do more than guessing or wanting about the future of language.we can know about it!and so we know.it won't die and live for ever..(it resembled the last sentence of a tale:))because ı had said in my former comment about language;it is alive.everything is changing through centuries year by year,day by day and even second by second..then we can't expect the language not to change and to be stable while so many things are changing.surely we can't.technological and scientific changes and development have the biggest effect on the future of language.when innovations are occured,new words are needed.new words mean the development of language.for example we cannot understand easiliy a contex that was written 50 years ago.its reason is the development of language surely.so after 50 years we know that we have difficulty in understanding the contex which is written today.so ı don't guess or want but know that nothing will be able to hinder the development and living of language in the world,because if we live it will live:))perihan çıkrık 3231040104(2-b)

languagugeis glassses you see the trough it.if you have problem with your eyes you can not understand what is happening around you.Without language you are a blind.if you are using language effectively that means you know which gglasses willfit to you .3231040052

language is everything we do.because whatever we do we want to tell sth to people.That is,even a man who is sleeping during the day wants that "I'm tired" or "I didnt sleep enough last night" or sth else.a baby wants everything by crying ,this is his\her language.so,everything we do is language.3231040087

language is a device by which people can express themselves.it seems so simple but actually it seperates people from each other.of course just itself it means nothing but it reflects our thoughts, our personality,indeed ourselves.it is us.ercan mutlu3231040045

Language is one of the differences of people from animals it lets us to connect each other it helps to us to give some hints about our culture it helps to us for earning money language is an alive thing it is always developing we meet with new words by the time is going for example before a hundred years a go there was not a word like computer language makes us social our being social depends our using of language.

.wars,peace,hunger... all are planned under the light of thissupernatural power.for example thınk the WARbetween usa and ıraq.the fundemantalthıng and thınk ın this war is MONEYand the parts from usa use their money(language)perfectly and enough to persuade everybody although everyone is against war and it burnt the start fire.

the basic sentence is my idea is language is a kınd of money we can spend however we prefer.

money is the root of all evils and the language can be an angel or a an evil.man deside how to use thıs gun.3231040084DERYA ÇELİK

dil bir oyun hamurudur.ı agree with this idea because it s my idea:)ı think so because you can use language as you want.for example you say different thing than you mean in fact.u can use irony methaphore etc...

language is like the weather whose importance can only be realized when it's absent...It is the most significant feature of a nation which represents the country in a good way!!!NUREFŞAN ÇEVİK.3231040034.2/B.

Language is not only a thing that provide a communication through speaking between two persons or two figures.language is also getting communication through gesturing,writing or something else.here is the important things that should be known is, it is all the actions that is made for getting communicaton between not only people but even between generations as well.H.İBRAHİM ŞENOL3231040036İNGİLİZCE ÖĞRT.

A language is considered to be a system of communicating with other people using sounds, symbols and words in expressing a meaning, idea or thought. This language can be used in many forms, primarily through oral and written communications as well as using expressions through body language. *3231040061 SEFER TONYALI*

do you know what is language?yes it is communication device,reflection of our feelings,thoughts...ıt can not differ us from animals I think because they have a language to communicate by smelling each other while we communicate by speaking.my thought about language iit is a part of life,we use it both by wanting and not.as we mentioned it is a communication device and we are always in any relation with something,we know that relation can begin with only seeing it/sb so communication begin too with the reflection of your feeling(even if you dont say anything,your body language say something:)do you feel bad or not...SERAP GUNAYDIN3231040080/2-B

language is the mirror of our thoughts. it reflects our culture, emotions,desires,etc.. by means of language, people come together. by the way, language is not only constructıon based on word. wıthout words, we can express ourself by means of body language such as gesture, mimics.. Also, we have inner thoughts; but as it is out of voice, people, who are in front of us,can not hear us and they can't understand what we are thinking. 3231040050

Language is my weapon I can demolish all the misunderstandings and also I can kill somebody in a few strokes.But I can make someone reborn or happy.And all these can be with a few words ,signs or even silence.Communication is the rhytm of silenceDilek Yıldırım

Hi there!I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs. I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks. Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.
